GT3 is a category of racing cars created by FIA (Federation Internationale de l'Automobile) for grand tourer racing. Many automotive manufacturers participate in races based on GT3 regulations with their specially designed racing vehicles using specified parts. Many sports car manufacturers such as BMW, Porsche, Aston Martin, Lamborghini, Mercedes-Benz, and Audi develop racing vehicles for this category. Due to the rapid global increase of GT races for the FIA GT3 category, you can witness the NISSAN GT-R NISMO GT3 in action all over the world.
